I'm just saying they weren't an overrated mess of a joke band until after 1976. The late 70s stuff, the 80s crap, and the fact that there are still pulling the nostalgia stuff to this day are all jokes, though.
Bottom line: KISS seems to be universally lauded as a 100% crap band, when they're more like 87% crap.
I get that. Yet I know some musicians that think they are great. Hell even famous hard rock/metal musicians give them props.
So I'm gonna say if musicians are thinking/saying that, then there are people who think that too.
Okay they are old now, so that makes wearing the makeup more of a joke.
Just the fact that they can keep marching that shit out on stage with only a handful of decent songs is beyond me.
That is why they are overrated. Not necessarily for the music but just in general.
